Currently emphasis on accurate and timely collection of fisheries data generates a need for investigation into advanced techniques in bathymetry, including recent refinements in Geographical Information Science (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). The study area for this project was the east basin of Lake Winona, a small Mississippi River floodplain lake in Winona, Minnesota USA. Lake Wi...

The R package ipdw provides functions for interpolation of georeferenced point data via Inverse Path Distance Weighting. Useful for coastal marine applications where barriers in the landscape preclude interpolation with Euclidean distances. This method of interpolation requires significant computation and is only practical for relatively small and coarse grids. The ipdw implementation may provi...

1 The Digital Elevation Model that has been derived from the February 2000 2 Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) has been one of the most 3 important publicly available new spatial datasets in recent years. However, the 4 'finished' grade version of the data (also referred to as Version 2) still contains 5 data voids (some 836,000 km 2) – and other anomalies – that prevent immediate 6 use i...

We propose to use wireless sensor networks to assess the accuracy and application of Digital Surface Models (DSM) for the study of shadowing and solar radiation over the built environment. Using the ability of sensor network data to provide information about solar radiation and predicting the exact time of the day that the Sun starts radiating a sensor, a comparative study and statistical analy...

This study correlated lung cancer (LC) mortality with statistical data obtained from government public databases. In order to asses a relationship between LC deaths and radon accumulation in dwellings, indoor radon concentrations were measured with passive detectors randomly distributed in Chihuahua City. Kriging (K) and Inverse-Distance Weighting (IDW) spatial interpolations were carried out. ...
